My First Denver City Geocache

I had a Groupon Coupon for an almost FREE cut and color today, but it was in downtown Denver. While we have visited a lot of the mountain country, we've not been in the very busy, big city until today. I was going alone, so I wanted to be prepared, and I hoped to find at least one city geocache.

Mapping out my route, and visiting Google maps, I found the salon and metered parking right on time. During the appointment, the stylist told me how to find the city park on my way home. At the park, I found my first "city" geocache down by the river that runs through Denver.

The park isn't the best one in Denver, I'm sure. But, at least I didn't get lost!

 The path...I actually climbed down next to the river, but later discovered the geocache was up on the other side of this path under a rock by some trees.

 Ohhh, there it is as I moved a big rock right where the GPS indicated.

This cache is in need of maintenance as it had nothing in it. Not even a log to sign.

I'm sure there are nicer places that we will find later now that we've "ventured" into the city. This is where I parked. Even parking was a little un-nerving.

Take Care on the Journey,
